Increase licence level for IBG.

Its available at 1/2/x/x/x and at this level it *still* makes a fine PVP ship, I took spuck to less than 50% with this setup while real tired n locked out due to paybycash, (heh, sorry spuck, and stuff)

But this really does prove vendetta aint about the levels, if you start life as an Itani...

[edit]

Rev C is fine being low level, you need to get standing first, but why can I get an IDF Valk at +690 but yet I need +800 for a sky prom? Why can I get an IBG at level 1 combat, but need thrice that for an SVG?, makes no sense...

Note: Incarnate has already commented on rebalancing the game, he said hes actually working on it.

So I guess everything is going to make sense soon enough,

So's we can be the underdogs, of course. :P

The cent being bigger wont address this, it has a mass of 3200kg with 2 ion mk2s and zips about the screen like nothing, dont quote devs to me, I read this forum daily, and prolly read every post in every thread at least once. Sounds sad? Well so does the IBG a little bigger.

It moves at 75ms, standard speed, my usual ping is about 110ms, do the math.

That light and that fast? Go try it.

70 speed yoda, maybe you should read the wiki too :)
And yes, increase the license levels already.

Yes, and thus we're helping him along by reminding him that this is something needs fixing.

Best combat ship in the game with the ultimate light loadout available at 1/2/-/-/-? definately needs fixing.

Uhm, it's definately not the best Cunjo.
Prom
Valk w/ flares.
Then IBG.

I'd say prom is better than valk or IBG without a doubt. Anything with an AGT rips a valk apart because of its shape, but that's a separate issue. When you get into flare-valk vs. IBG, it really starts to depend on the pilots.

I am, however, all for making the cent bigger. It actually has less hitable area than the profile of a vult.

I'm sure they're going to look at valks again as well. Not that they're considering changing anything major, just making it so that the higher lvl, more expensive IDF is actually better than the vengeance. That and making it so the runevalk isnt completely worthless.

Aaaaand back on topic: Yeah, lvls for IBG need an increase.

Note to Devs: This is why we need at leats basic forum polls ^^

Give me PHPbb or give me Mambo ^^

I'd put the IBG at combat 5 or 6 & the Rev. C at combat 4 or 5. Light Weapons at 6 for both of them.

Depending on how much the size is increased & how much that ends up affecting their combat ability, maybe a bit lower on the licenses.

I'd say the IBG is superior to a Flare Valk (shouldn't be, and after the size increase hopefully won't be, but currently is). But the Prom is #1.
Mar 02, 2006 Blacklight link
I agree with Beolach
Mar 02, 2006 Chikira link
Well so far we seem to be set on levels 4 to 6 for combat and 5 or higher LW
Mar 02, 2006 Chikira link
While we are commenting on the IBG what about the Territorial Defender, It has a heavy waepons level of 2 for its requirment and that is it!
Mar 02, 2006 Blacklight link
Not many *good* hvy weapons are available at lvl 2 ;)
Mar 03, 2006 yodaofborg link
Hmm, maybe they should just *balance* the reqs, Ie, IBG 4/4/x/x/x SVG 4/4/x/x/x TD Hog 4/3/3/x/x/x, (yes, the hog is the only one with a heavy port, and therefore, the only ship that requires a heavy licence)

But 1/2/x/x/x for an uber pvp ship is just well, plain nonesense.

I like Beolach's idea the best.

Someone should go to his house and shoot 'im in the head, he makes way too much sense.
